    Breakscale

    1,645 GitHub stars    SiteGitHub

    Build a system, load it until it breaks, and watch why. A system design simulator with a real discrete-event engine: 33 components, measured percentiles, retry storms that collapse on their own. 1,000+ GitHub stars in its first week, part of Vercel's Open Source Program and sponsored by Workers IO.

    Site

    Share your free time in someone else's time zone. Drag on a 24-hour clock, and a second clock shows the same hours in their zone. Send it as a short link that opens in the reader's own time zone, with no sign-up and no database: the whole schedule is packed into a link of about 23 characters.

  • obs-zoom-to-mouse-waylandGitHub

    Wayland was the one place obs-zoom-to-mouse refused to work, so I forked it. A Lua OBS script that zooms a PipeWire screen capture to follow your cursor on Hyprland, because screen recordings deserve to actually show what you're pointing at.

    A native GTK4 desktop app for recording a daily video or audio diary entry, which uploads itself straight to YouTube as a private video. Future me, this is for you.

    A C++ program that turns images into colored ASCII art, printed straight to your terminal. Built mostly to relearn pixels, luminance, and why std::cout is slower than you'd hope.
